Controversial opinions on metal

[Tonka Time]

Slam death


Not that there's anything wrong with that. A band's slamming preferences are none of my business.

I'm thinking more along the lines of black metal, somthing blacklodge-ish. Death metal hasnt done shit for me in about a year.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

It's my business insofar as that it's yet another invasion by white musicians who for some reason think metal and hip hop should be combined (sorry V5 and cookiecutter ). You would've thought they would have learned their lesson after nu-metal.

 

[damnromulans]

I meant dancing in the hip hop/techno/trance sense. Sorry but that kinda shit has no place in metal. I find that folky polka ho-down (or whatever you wanna call it) pretty gay in metal too.

One day I'll videotape myself Crip walking to "Rapture"

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Unmetal = :danceboy:

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Yea guys, don't forget the golden rule.

Death metal isn't a party.

 

[IntoPhagist]

That techno shit was horrible.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Even the guy who listens to In This Moment dislikes it. It's universally detestable.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Indeed. Certainly something worthy of branding into your skin as you thrash to The Awakening in an alcoholic stupor. I approve wholeheartedly.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Sorry, no can do. That would ruin my arms sleeves. I spent a lot of money on all these koi fish and Chinese letters/symbols.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

What about your back?

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Was going to get some angel wings put on there, but someone told me it might be too gay.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Nothing like enhancing your heterosexuality by branding "Death metal isn't a fucking party" into your skin.

Controversial opinion: I like Pantera's Power Metal and select songs from Cowboys from Hell.

Yep. In my opinion you listen to Ride My Rocket on repeat and nothing else.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Is that from one of their pre-Power Metal albums? Those were terrible iirc.

 

[damnromulans]

デッスメタルはファッキングパーティーじゃねぞ！

 

[HamburgerBoy]

It is and they are, more or less. Pre-Anselmo Pantera has a few good songs though.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Not as bad as I remember. Power Metal is still easily the best thing they ever did.

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

Yeah I uhh... don't listen to Motley Crue. Sorry guys.

Only pre-Cowboys Pantera song I dig is Power Metal's title track, and I like it ironically. The guitar work on some of the first few albums is pretty awesome, but the songs are terrible. And I'm not crazy about fancy guitar work in the first place.

The only weird thing about this is that you're agreeing with the majority.

Pantera after Phil joined is awful.
Dimebag Darrell does not deserve any of the accolades he receives. Sorry, he can't write a riff to save his life, and his skills are greatly exaggerated.
